Installation Guide

TEMPLATE AND CUTOUT

Farmhouse sinks may require custom cabinetry. We recommend

consulting an experienced cabinet maker for assistance. Providing the

cabinet maker with the actual sink that is to be installed will ensure a

custom ﬁt.

Allow clearance for the water supply lines, drains and a garbage disposal, if

applicable. Build a support frame or install support bars from front

to back along the inner sides of the cabinet. The frame must support the

weight of the sink and all attachments.

The support frame should be positioned so that when installed, the sink is

in line and level with the top of the cabinet.

Note: It may be necessary to custom scribe the cabinet sides or, if needed,

add wood ﬁller strips to accomodate the slight taper of the apron front.

No template is provided since each sink will vary dimensionally. After

centering the sink, trace the outline of the sink on the counter-top with a

pencil to use as a guide for the cutout. Remember to allow clearance for

any faucets and/or backsplashes. Cut the counter-top accordingly.

FINAL PLACEMENT

Test ﬁt the sink in the opening that was created in the previous steps. The

entire weight of the sink should be supported by the support frame. Verify

that the sink is in line and level with the top of the cabinet. Use shims, if

needed, to level the sink.

Set the sink and apply your sealant to ﬁll in any gaps below the sink front,

and between the sink and counter-top. Hold the sink in place to secure.

Place the counter-top onto the sink and remove any excess sealant from

all surfaces.
